Imposing on the Bridegroom.

The mode OF procedure in the vii
LACE of Galashicls was as follows:
Early i'm the day after the marriage
those Interested i'm the proceedings as
semblcd ut the house of tho newly
welded couple. bringing with them q
"crcc or basket. which they iilIed
with stones. The Young husband, on
being brought 10 the door, had the
Grcc firmly fixed TO his back, aud with
il ia this position had to run the round
of the town, on at least the chief por-
ton of it, followed by aumber of men
TO see that he did not drop his burden;
the only condition ON which hc was al
lowed to do SO being that his wife
should come after him and kiss him.
A. relief depended altogether upon the
wife. il would sometimes happen that
the husband did not need to run more
than a few yards. but when she was
more than ordinarily bashful, or wished
to have q little sport at the expense OF
her lord and master which il may be
supposed would not ufrcqucntly be
the case he had to carry his load a
considerable distance. This custom
was very strictly enforced, aud the
person who was last creeled had charge
of the ceremony, and he was naturally
mXiou. that no ono should escape.
The practice, as far as Galashiels was
concerned. came to an end about one
hundred years aero. with the person Oh
one Robert Young, who, ON the osten
sihle plea of q ".orr back, lazy aheo

WOMAN VS.. MAN.

France is all broken up Of late,
consequent upon suit in court
involving the right Of husband
to open his wite's letters. The
point is a nice one, and we have
followed its unfolding with more
than passing interest. Oqe OF the
lawyers opened his French mouth
and said : "There is one point
about which there can be no doubt
the husband who arbitrarily
opens his wite's letters is often a
blackguard, always an impudcnt
man. But that is not the ques-
tion. We, as lawyers, had only
to do with the law. Has the hus-
band, according to our present law,
the right to open letters addressed
to and received by his wife Both
the letter and the spirit Of the law
answer yes. The following is con-
tanned in the 2l3th article of the
Civil Code which runs thus The
husband owes protection to the
wife, the wife obedience to the
husband. Tie spirit is contained
in the first elevated definition
which the First Consul has given
of marriage Mayr age is the
union OF souls The moral inter
ests and duties Of riarried people
form common patrimony, of
which the husband is the roSponsi-
bic administrator. If he abuses
his trIst, if without reason nc be
comes arbitrary, curious, tvranl-
cal, his wife ought to nave recourse
to an action for separation or d. |
vorce, founded on the grave injury |
done her, but she ought not to
bring an action against him on the |
plea OF htr personal or distinct
rights having been violated. You
see that the husbands right is not
without great dangers. At all |
events it is indlsputable under our
law. Apart from judicial reason.
we all agree with Nine Adams
eloquent protest. A letter should
be sacred FROM any gentleman 1t
ought to be doubly 50 if it belongs
to woman"

Much is said By our Democratic
brethren, and to some extent en-
dor:ed by unthinking Republicans,
about President Cleveland's Ad
ministration having been so fair il
permitting Republicans to retain
so many of the public offices tor SC
great d length of time. This claim
on the part OF the Democracy is
all Nonsense of the thinest kind, as
will appear when a glance is taken
at the facts. 1t Is true that quite
a large number Of Republican Off
cials have peen permitted to hold
on to their positions, but it is prop
er to consider the causes for this
action or want OF action on the
part OF the Administration. The
Presidential post offices have near.
~ all been filled by Democratic
post.masters, and all would have
been so filled long since, no doubt,
but for the fact that the tenure OF
Office law prevented the removal
at any one of these Republican Of
ic;aia except for cause, and then Ii
could only be accomplished with
the advice and consent Of the Re
publican Senate. True there is
